Lee priming tools

I have a Lee hand priming tool the directions say that not to use Federal primers they may explode. Can anyone agree or disagree with this [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Never have figured that one out either... mine has loaded 1300 federal 210m and 300 210 primers without incident. I rarely load more than 20 of any primer into the hopper at once though regaurdless of make or model.

Craig I've used mine on thousands of federal primers with only an occasional problem. For some reason you can get A batch with a few cups that are taller than normal which keeps the primer from sliding into place.I just jiggle the priming tool while I'm reaching for the next case. 7mmrhb

I also use the federal primers in the Lee hand tool.
I think there was a few cases where the primers went off in the tool, maybe static, loose powder or pinched primer?? and some law suits. but only federal primers.
I try to limit the amount of primers in the tray, keep the tray clean and tip the tool away from my face to seat the primer.
There was a problem or two and if you do a search I think there was a member here that had it happen to them.
